Episode 15: Inspiring the Entrepreneur - Jorge Soto

We’re all familiar with the famous proverb: “It takes a village to raise a child!” As more entrepreneurs launch their own startup company, perhaps the phrase should be changed to “It takes a village to make a business!” Community between entrepreneurs has become more important than ever as those with great ideas search for the people who can make their dreams come to life. In today’s episode with market specialist Jorge Soto we discuss the benefits of community, leadership style, and the new markers of success.

Jorge Soto is a self-proclaimed startup fanatic who focuses on inspiring and motivating the new entrepreneur. After leaving Twitter to work as a consultant for Node.io, a new kind of database, Soto launched Sotoventures Media which functions as a community for entrepreneur education. Soto believes in the power of a good leader and strives to encourage startup entrepreneurs and sales reps alike to break their own barriers . In his free time, Jorge enjoys painting and playing guitar.
